This is an SEC thread from many years ago. It's interesting to see how much things have grown since then. It mentions Alabama having 1200 PNMs as a high number- don't they get over 2,000 now?
At my school, sororities were around 45-60 and we had formal NPC recruitment in 1998-2001 when I was there. Then they hit a slump mid 2000s, and went to informal only for a while and chapters were smaller. They're back to formal and each chapter is taking a pledge class of 15 (which is really good for the school). Greek life seems to be doing well nowadays there. Not sure what caused the downturn.
